...France Rwandan Assassination Arrest A week after German police arrested her, Rose Kabuye, chief protocol officer to Rwandan President Paul Kagame, was extradited to France under a warrant claiming she was complicit in the downing of a plane that killed Rwanda's then President and two French pilots. The attack helped spark the 1994 Rwandan genocide in which some 800,000 people perished. Kagame denounced the arrest, calling it "total contempt" for his nation...
...health-care reform, both because of Daschle's understanding of the legislative process and for his belief in the new President-elect. His years on the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the Medicare and Medicaid programs, will also serve him well at HHS.

For the first three months of the season the men and women run 8K and 5K races respectively, undertaking the longer distance for the first time at regionals. Still, Chenoweth cited good preparation...
...sign of the group's much-heralded decline, however, the arrest also could also work to the advantage of those nationalists seeking to break with ETA's violent tactics. Txeroki was the hardest of hardliners. Thirty-five years old, he moved across the border to France in 2002, and rose quickly through ETA's hierarchy. He is believed to have ordered the December 2006 bombing of a car park at Madrid's Barajas airport, which killed two people and put a definite end to the ceasefire the group had declared earlier that year. Other ETA members now in police custody...
